Steggles Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Seems we're getting further and further away from having an AH-1 :( Great news for the fixed wing fans, not so good for us rotary wing fans. At least Polychop is filling my need (want) of a new chopper soonish. Looking forward to this module.

Ultra Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Creating the F-5E is a really smart move, when there has been much discussion of "mis-placed" aircraft released for DCS - the F-5E is probably the best placed module anyone could create at the moment. It gives us a real opponent for the MiG-21 and it fits in perfectly to both NTTR and the Straight of Hormuz (the classic and still operational adversary aircraft for NTTR and simple strike-fighter for the IRIAF in the SoH). It will also be an awesome sparring partner for both the F-14 and F/A-18, not to mention a relatively simple, but fun aircraft to fly. I totally agree, I think it's a perfect fit!

Slipp Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Perfect! I will buy.... Will somenone make a Vietnan map? They should include a free map, like the Leatherneck plans to do with their future plane modules. That would be the best. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillKelsoe Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Nice!! I wonder if 30 mm could be loaded with PGU-13 for AA purposes... I think with a quirk it may, and finally we have our superfast A-10C... AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie87 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So excited for this one. Beautiful aircraft and perfect opponent to the MiG-21, not to mention a great addition to the NTTR for dissimilar aircraft training. Day one purchase from me. DCS is finally starting to move in a direction that I'm looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yes good direction to me , more fighters and less heli and trainers. Helis are important too!! :cry: But I agree, I think we have enough trainers now to last us forever in DCS and Polychop Sim is working on helis now so they won't be neglected. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentLaw Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 we have enough trainers now to last us forever in DCSAnd yet they are all somewhat redundant. The C-101, Hawk, and L-39 are very very similar, which ironically means we could use more trainers. It would be nice if we had more variety in trainers. The F-5 is actually a great example of the kind of trainer we could use more of. I'm honestly a little disappointed that we are getting the F-5E instead of the F-5F. (but then again, I'd rather have an AH-1 than either F-5, so I'm not complaining.) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just not a fan of the trainers in general, but I know a lot of people enjoy them and they're a helpful starting point for new developers.

OnlyforDCS Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The F5E had three different radars during it's long career. Is there any chance we could maybe find out which one will be modeled in Belsimtek's module?
